Three concentric metallic spherical shells of radii $R, 2R, 3R$ are given charges $Q_1, Q_2, Q_3$ respectively. It is found that the surface charge densities on the outer surfaces of the shells are equal. Then,the ratio of the charges given to the shells,$Q_1 : Q_2 : Q_3$,is

  • A
    $1 : 2 : 3$
  • B
    $1 : 4 : 9$
  • C
    $1 : 3 : 5$
  • D
    $1 : 8 : 18$
